hi,

anyone have experience with QEMU on FreeBSD 7.x ?

i got problem with qemu, i cant use it to emulate my XP with this command:

# qemu -boot d -hda /home/alie/myvm/winxp.img -m 128

it gives nothing, just hanging forever...
 
you order Qemu to boot from cdrom, while no disk in cdrom specified
change -boot d to -boot c

If you need cd-rom (real) -cdrom /dev/acd0
if you need to emulate cdrom and use XP iso image -cdrom /path/to/winxp.iso

remember to boot from cdrom use -boot d, to boot from disk/image whatever use -boot c

also when you install qemu, make sure kqemu ain't loaded.
only after installation is done, then use kqemu to emulate XP


p.s. qemu works fine
 
sorry, this is my first time use Qemu,

qemu -boot c -hda /home/alie/myvm/winxp.img -m 128
qemu -cdrom /dev/acd0 -boot c -hda /home/alie/myvm/winxp.img -m 128


these 2 line not work for me :( still same problem, it gives nothing..
 
have you installed Xp on virtual disk? My guess is not.
1st thing to do is
Code: 
$ sudo kldload aio
$ sudo kldunload kqemu
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 winxp.img 10G
$ qemu -cdrom /dev/acd0 -boot d -hda winxp.img -m 128
now install XP
after you installed it
shutdown virtual pc (from xp)
Code: 
$ sudo kldload kqemu
$ qemu -boot c -hda winxp.img -m 128

if you ain't got sudo use su to get admin permissions

alie: you can also try emulators/aqemu, which is a nice GUI for qemu.
 
its weird, still got same problem, with normal qemu and with aqemu too... hangs forever and for aqemu it will display menu bar and title only, there's no screen area at all...

btw i can take my screenshot with "prtsc", something wrong with my system...

this seems weird for me since i cant use my CD-ROM also. i saw /dev/acdo0 on my machine but i cant browse ... i am not sure its mounted or not since i am quite new to UNIX system

and 1 more thing... when i run this:
qemu -cdrom /dev/acd0 -boot d -hda /home/alie/aqemu/Windows_XP_HDA.img -m 128
Click to expand...

i can hear my CD-ROM is running...
but nothing is showing...
 
Can you read directly from acd0 using, for example, less -f /dev/acd0 or head -c 100 /dev/ad0s2 ?
What is the output of ll /dev/acd0 and groups ?
 
i can read it directly... but i cant browse it with any file manager(eg konqueror).. this is another issue, i think i will create antoher thread for this one.

# ll /dev/acd0
